+  - If you (or your team) are shooting yourselves in the foot constantly, fix the gun
+  - Assess the trade-off you’re making between quality and pace, make sure it’s appropriate for your context
+  - Spending time sharpening the axe is almost always worth it
+  - If you can’t easily explain why something is difficult, then it’s incidental complexity, which is probably worth addressing
+  - Try to solve bugs one layer deeper
+  - Don’t underestimate the value of digging into history to investigate some bugs
+  - Bad code gives you feedback, perfect code doesn’t. Err on the side of writing bad code
+  - Make debugging easier
+  - When working on a team, you should usually ask the question
+  - Shipping cadence matters a lot. Think hard about what will get you shipping quickly and often
